Foursquare Selects Cirrus Insight via Salesforce.com’s AppExchange

Cirruspath today announced that Foursquare has deployed Cirrus Insight via the AppExchange, the world’s leading business apps marketplace. Cirrus Insight is a powerful browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that instantly displays contextual Salesforce information alongside emails in Gmail. Cirrus Insight enables Foursquare’s sales team to view Salesforce contacts, create new leads, and save emails to Salesforce -- all from within their Gmail app.

Built on the Salesforce Platform, the world’s leading cloud platform for social and mobile business apps, Cirrus Insight is immediately available for test drive and deployment on the AppExchange at http://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N30000004fnkUEAQ

Comments on the News

  • “We’re thrilled that Cirrus Insight has helped Foursquare to enhance its interaction with its members. By putting the power of Salesforce inside Gmail, the staff at Foursquare can better cultivate relationships with members and Brand Platform Partners,” said Brandon Bruce, COO and Co-founder of Cirruspath.
  • “Our sales team deals with many clients and agencies and Cirrus Insight lets us organize them efficiently,” said Eric Friedman, Director of Sales Operations at Foursquare. “Cirrus Insight ensures that we stay on top of inbound emails and leads as our sales team and our business continue to grow.”
  • “Companies around the globe are looking to transform their business for the social revolution,” said Ron Huddleston, senior vice president, ISV & Channel, salesforce.com. “Partners such as Cirruspath are leveraging the power of the Salesforce Platform to help customers like Foursquare dramatically change how they connect with customers to drive growth.”

Connect in Entirely New Ways with Social and Mobile Cloud Technologies

As a recognized pioneer in the technology industry, Foursquare is constantly looking for solutions to improve the way they do business. Previously, the staff at Foursquare had to leave the Gmail application to access or update information in Salesforce. Today, by putting Salesforce information at their fingertips in Gmail, Cirrus Insight enables Foursquare employees to more efficiently focus on their members and partners.

Streamlining Foursquare’s workflow means that sales and support staff have constant, real-time information about their members as they communicate with them by email. Cirrus Insight brings together two leading cloud business apps, Salesforce and Gmail, to boost productivity and results. Foursquare utilizes Cirrus Insight to improve customer interactions, resolve support tickets, close deals, and increase revenue.
